COMSEC Account Management - Program Management and Standards Compliance
Low Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Recipients of NSA or Service COMSEC accounts are responsible to properly maintain the accounts. Procedures covering security, transport, handling, etc., of COMSEC must be developed to supplement regulatory guidelines. NSA or sponsoring Services of the COMSEC accounts maintain oversight by conducting required inspections. If COMSEC accounts are not properly maintained and findings are noted during an inspection, they must be addressed properly and promptly. If this is not done, the integrity of COMSEC items may be adversely impacted, resulting in the loss or compromise of COMSEC equipment or key material.
